When I go to the "Likes" section of the YouTube video manager under my account I can only see 2 pages of the likes list and the last video in the list is for sure far not the first video I've ever liked. I am actively using YouTube for years, clicking "like" to be able to revisit the video, but now I can only see a small part of all I've liked.

I believe that I have once opened the full list but I can't remember how did I do that.

Do you happen to know the way?

If there is no way to do this through the YouTube UI, solutions involving API usage are also welcome. I just don't want to lose the list.

Even though it shows the total number of liked videos, the list still only has 200 items in it. I have 1/5000 shown. I have to start the last one in the list to make it load the next set of 100 videos. Now I am wondering if there is a 5,000 limit. I thought likes were changed to unlimited.

The problem is that YouTube is limiting every playlist to 200 entries. A solution I came across is to create a new playlist, put the 200 displayed entries from your liked list inside, and delete them from the liked list. The liked list is then not empty, but contains 200 previously liked videos. Proceed until you have all liked videos in playlists.

I feel like this isn't complete, since I'm missing videos that are in a series, that I'm sure I would have liked, but it definitely gives more than the 200 shown by default. Good find.

YouTube used to have a feature that placed a checkmark next to playlists which already contained the video in question. This was great if you had several playlists (each playlist holds 200 videos) because it notified told you which playlist the video was located in, you could keep track of all your playlisted-videos without worrying about placing the same video in multiple playlists. But I think YouTube or Google changed the system so that the checkmark was mostly removed.

Go to your "Liked Videos" section and click play on one of the videos. Next to the video playing is a playlist of your liked videos (in black color). To the top of this playlist is the title Liked Videos Just click that and that's it. At the bottom of the new page there is "Load more" button and it loads 100 videos every time it's clicked so you can view all your liked videos!
